This is based on little more than showing effort. If we are going to sign up a coach simply because we now show effort, then we are going down the wrong path.
What i'm suggesting is even with a continued improvement in effort...and even a little (somewhat unrealistic) improvement in skill. We have a long way to go before we CAN be premiership contenders. I'm not saying people think we are premiership contenders this year. Just that this type of improvement alone inevitably leads us to that point.
Being competitive, to winning more than you lose, to being able to beat the top sides, to being able to win a flag are giant steps. Passing one level doesn't guarantee the next level.
Basically i don't want people to get too excited about Barker simply because we show some competitiveness.
They're playing for him but right now no way he should be signed now. He goes through the process like every other prospective coach. He's at the advantage (or disadvantage if we go crap) of having a hands on job interview but this time we goes though the process of interviews from the start. If Barker's the best man for the job after that then so be it but not before.
